SABFOIL Sea Devil 1040 Full Set – Hydrofoil 2-in-1 + Kraken 83 Mast

Product Description

The SABFOIL Sea Devil 1040 Full Set is a 2-in-1 hydrofoil complete with the Kraken 83 mast, designed to maximize light wind performance in wing, surf, SUP, and pump foiling. Thanks to its dual configuration, with or without a stabilizer, it allows you to switch from a stable and easy setup to a more reactive and radical mode simply by attaching or removing the tail.

The self-stabilizing profile and the full carbon monocoque construction without a fuselage ensure efficiency, stiffness, and a direct feel underfoot. It’s the ideal set for those who want a single foil for wave, freeride, light downwind, dock-start, and SUP foil in light wind conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Is it suitable for beginners?

In Tail Mode, yes: the large surface area, self-stabilizing profile, and 83 mast make the Sea Devil 1040/83 suitable even for beginners in light wind, with very rapid progression.

What is the Raw Mode without a stabilizer for?

Raw Mode removes the tail to achieve a more direct and "loose" feel, with tight carving and greater freedom of movement. It is designed for experienced riders who want a more playful and radical ride in waves and freeride.

What is the difference compared to a traditional foil with a fuselage?

The full carbon monocoque construction without a fuselage reduces drag and flex, offering a stiffer, more reactive, and quieter foil, with immediate feedback underfoot compared to traditional multi-piece setups.

What boards and wings are recommended with this set?

It pairs well with wing/SUP boards of appropriate volume for the rider's weight (often 80 to 120 liters for wing) and medium-large wings (e.g., 5–7 m²) to best leverage light wind and the lift of the 1040 wing.
